Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an attaching and detaching method of attaching or detaching a contact top to and from a front end of a contact arm of a nailing machine of a nail or the like.
  • a nailing machine strikes of a nail of a nail, a screw or the like to a work to be nailed and includes a contact arm as a safety apparatus.
  • a contact arm constituted such that one end thereof is projected from a front end of an injection port of a striking tool, other end thereof is arranged to be engaged with a starting trigger, and the nailing machine is operated only when the one end of the contact arm is pressed to the work to be nailed when the trigger is pulled.
  • the nailing machine is constituted such that, the contact arm is urged by a spring to project from a front end of a nose portion in a striking direction, by pressing a front end portion of the contact arm to the work to be nailed until the front end of the nose portion is butted to a portion to be nailed, the front end portion is relatively moved to an opposite side of a pressing direction, it is detected by the movement that the front end of the nose portion is butted to the work to be nailed, and finally an operation of the trigger is made to be effective.
  • the front end of the contact arm is urged by the spring to project from the front end of the nose portion in the striking direction, when the contact arm is pressed to the work to be nailed, the contact arm is made to be pressed thereto.
  • the work to be nailed is a decorative member having a comparative soft material
  • the front end of the contact arm is attached with a contact top (front end member) made of a synthetic resin, thereafter, operated to press thereto.
  • a contact top (nose cap) facilitating attachment and detachment
  • a contact top comprising an elastic member which can simply be attached by engaging a projected portion of the contact top with a recessed portion of a contact arm by simply fitting the contact top to a front end of the contact arm (push lever) (refer to, for example, JP-A-2005-007544).
  • the applicant of the present invention has proposed a contact top of a nailing tool made to be adaptable to striking connected nails (pin nail) at a narrow space.
  • a front end thereof is curved by a curved portion comprising an elastic member, loosely fitted to a nose portion having an injection path of a nail formed by overlapping a wear plate and a driver guide slidably in an up and down direction and attached attachably and detachably to and from a front end of a contact arm (refer to, for example, JP-A-2005-168524).
  • the contact arm (nose cap) capable of being attached and detached by being simply fitted to the front end of the contact arm, attachment and detachment thereof is facilitated, the contact arm is easy to be detached, and therefore, the contact arm is easy to lost, further, when the contact top is detached in an operation of striking a nail, a continuity of the operation of striking the nail is stopped, and therefore, an operational performance thereof is deteriorated, at the same time, when work to be nailed is a decorative member having a comparatively soft material, there is a concern of producing a defect or a press mark at a surface of the decorative member.
  • the contact top is arranged on an inner side of the driver guide, and therefore, when the contact top is attached or detached for replacing the contact top or the like, first, the driver guide is detached by loosening a bolt, further, an engagement of the contact arm and the contact top is disengaged and the arm is rotated and the contact top is detached from a guide of the wear plate of the nose portion by sliding the contact top to draw to a lower side.
  • One or more of embodiments of the invention provide a method of attaching and detaching a contact top in a striking tool in which the contact top can be easily and firmly attached and detached without using a tool of a spanner or the like such that the contact top is not detached in an operation of striking a nail.
  • a contact top is arranged at a lower end of the wear plate slidably along a direction of striking the nail, a contact arm is provided movably in parallel with the direction of striking the nail, and the contact top is attached to and detached from a front end of the contact arm, an engaging groove is formed at a side portion of the contact top, the contact top is movable such that the engaging groove comes out from and goes into an inner side of the driver guide, a front end portion of the contact arm is provided to be able to be brought into contact with and separate from the contact top, and the contact arm is capable of being attached to and detached from the engaging groove of the contact top exposed from the inner side of the driver guide in a state of maximally moving the front end portion of the contact
  • an amount of moving the contact arm is constituted by adding a moving amount thereof until the contact top is completely exposed from the driver guide further to a moving amount in a normal use.
  • the front end portion of the contact arm is provided to be able to be brought into contact with and separate from the contact top, in a state of maximally moving the front end portion of the contact arm to the lower side, when the top is exposed from the inner side of the driver guide, the front end portion of the contact arm is attached to or detached from the engaging groove of the contact top. Therefore, according to the attaching and detaching method, in attaching and detaching the contact top, it is not necessary to disengage the driver guide, and therefore, also a tool is not needed, and therefore, the contact top is attached and detached very easily.
  • the contact top is attached to the contact arm, and therefore, the contact top is not detached in operation.
  • the amount of moving the contact arm is constituted by adding the moving amount until the contact top is completely exposed from the driver guide further to the moving amount in the normal use, and therefore, the contact top is not exposed in the normal operation. Therefore, the contact top is not detached from the front end of the contact arm in the operation.
